#1 Must've killed the editors to write that headline...

#2 Much as I love Ronnie, George Washington is--without a doubt--my number one American! If not for him, we wouldn't even be discussing who the greatest American is, because there would be no such creatures.

#3 Agreed, Dar! And I love Reagan as much, so put him in at #2.

#4 I like Reagan too, but over GW and Honest Abe? He's in mighty good company there but definitely #3 in a very strong field.

#5 Oprah Winfrey is the Greatest American Woman of All Time? Oh that's just what her ego needs to get even bigger...

#6 Dar,

In complete agreement with you, but just the entertainment value of getting to say "Ronald Reagan, Greatest American" and irk the moonbats is worth it.

#7 why do i always see things differently? I see this as oprah and clinton trying to rub off the star power of real stars.

Oprah Winfrey. Give me a break. She's a freaking talk show host, barely two steps above Jerry Springer.

#8 "Bush stole the vote, man, just like in 2000 and 2004."

I agree with Dar: no Washington, no America. But I also agree with DN: This result is better than putting a tack on John Kerry's chair.

#9 Winston Churchill was the greatest American.

#10 Good catch, Ship, but he thought he was "fifty percent American and 100% British."

#11 BWAHAHAHAHHAAAAAA.
It killed Matt Lauher to read that. I thought I actually saw him snear when he read that.

Of course all of the talking heads in the MSM tried to foust off "its because americans are stupid" argument for picking Ron over Abe.

I am still laughing that Dubyah beat out Slick Willie......NOW that was a real treat for me.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...I had better stop I almost wet my pants laughing at all of the media types puking in the wastebasket.

#12 The Byrds will have to get together to rewrite He's a drug store truck driving man.

Maybe the could just retarget it to Sen Byrd...

#13 Dar,
If you think about it, President Reagan probably would have agreed with you. He was a very modest man when it came to his comparisons with history.
And God, I miss him so.
